OP a few weeks ago I cut the end of a toothpaste tube and got another 10 days use from what was left after I couldn’t squeeze anything out. DD does the same with shampoo & conditioner and I plan to do it a face wash I splurged on.

Hi are you on any surgery apps such as £5 surveys, attapol, prolific. I’ve made approx £50 this month. May be worth doing it. If you go to the money section and promos, people sometimes post links.

typo. Sorry survey apps

Thrifty Lesley is brilliant for, well, thrifty recipes. Tried and tested and used by her and her family. She doesn’t post as much now but there’s a great archive.
